    Andhra Pradesh has three main climatic zones - the Coastal Plains region has a warm, humid climate and some cities are prone to cyclones and tsunamis. The Rayalaseema region is semi-arid and has faced chronic drought for centuries. Traditional houses in Andhra Pradesh use locally available materials like wood, bamboo, mud, lime, palm leaves and tiles. Houses have features like pitched roofs, mud walls, rainwater collection systems, and are organized functionally with spaces for storage, kitchen and toilets separated from the main building.
